Installation

Gridmux is a desktop application built on Electron.

Download links not finalized yet

The public download artifacts (installer file names and URLs) are not defined yet — the Download page is still a placeholder. The per-OS steps below describe the installer formats produced by the build, but the actual files to download are pending. TODO: fill in artifact names and links once releases are published.

Windows

Gridmux ships as an NSIS installer (.exe).

1. Run the Gridmux setup .exe.
2. Choose the installation directory (the installer is per-machine and lets you change the install location).
3. The installer can create a desktop shortcut and a Start Menu shortcut.
4. Finish, then launch Gridmux.

Detected shells on Windows: PowerShell and CMD are always available; PowerShell 7 (pwsh), Git Bash, and WSL appear only when they’re installed (WSL requires an Ubuntu or Debian distribution).
